Thanks for your replies..
My apologies to all... Tim, mozilla's junk filter assigned your very
complete and helpful reply to my message directly to the junk bin and I
missed it when I checked yesterday, hence my resent and reworded message
today.
I have had a good look at it and passed it on to the people who host my
clients domains. They had drawn a blank on solving this one thus leaving
me high and dry ... and I have a client chewing my ears because the mail
doesnt work...so I started researching myself, I didnt realise my
ignorance was going to be that obvious!! I am hoping Tims message will
help them, I dont know what will if it doesnt!!!
Thanks for your patience
David
